Custom built in 2021, this sleek, high-performance home blends modern design with practical comfort. Beneath its board-and-batten HardiPlank siding lies an ultra-efficient structure built from steel and structural foam panels known as ThermaSteel. This innovative, American-made material provides exceptional insulation, mold and termite resistance, and durability that is virtually tornado, fire, and earthquake proof. The result: lower insurance premiums, dramatically reduced energy bills, and peace of mind for years to come. Designed with an elevated mountain house layout, the main living spaces-including the kitchen, family room, and primary suite-are upstairs to capture the views. A spacious east-facing deck spans much of the home, offering sunrise vistas over Lake Hartwell and the Blue Ridge Mountains. With 14+ private mountain acres, large windows, and an open floor plan, this home feels light-filled, tranquil, and worlds away-yet is only 15 minutes from the closest grocery store. The kitchen features butcher block countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a generous breakfast bar that flows into the living area. The primary suite is a retreat of its own with dual closets, a spa-like bathroom, and a custom captain's bed with integrated storage and a striking shou sugi ban finish. Downstairs two bedrooms, a full bath, and a versatile common area provide space for guests, family, or a home office. High-end finishes run throughout: luxury vinyl plank flooring, designer lighting and fixtures, custom tile, and soaring 9-12 foot ceilings. Enjoy room-by-room temperature control, increased air quality, and efficiency with four independent climate control zones for individualized comfort. Outside, a detached garage/workshop offers space for vehicles, tools, and toys. The wide circular drive provides easy access and ample parking, while mature, low-maintenance landscaping surrounds the home. Enjoy evenings around the fire pit and mornings on the back deck, immersed in privacy and nature. Whether you're looking for a primary residence or a peaceful retreat, this property delivers energy efficiency, low maintenance, storm safety, and one-of-a-kind custom design-all move-in ready. And when you're ready to explore, the closest Lake Hartwell boat ramp is minutes away, the nearby Chattooga River awaits your whitewater rafting or kayaking adventure, and six state parks and seven lakes are within an hour's drive. Toccoa is five minutes from the GA/ SC line on the Georgia side of Lake Hartwell. Find local fun in Clarkesville, GA, Clayton, GA, Long Creek, SC, Seneca, SC, and Clemson, SC.
